All Blacks Come From Behind to Edge Lions and Stay Unbeaten on Tour

On Tuesday, the New Zealand All Blacks edged the Lions 41-35 at Ellis Park in a 12-try thriller, maintaining their unbeaten tour of South Africa.
A dogged Lions side led for 62 minutes, threatening to become the first provincial team to beat New Zealand in 50 years after building an early 14-0 lead.
New Zealand rallied from an 18-point second-half deficit, with All Blacks veteran Rieko Ioane and flanker Ethan Blackadder scoring two tries each before winger Emoni Narawa's 79th-minute decisive score.
The victory marks the All Blacks' fourth provincial win, extending their undefeated eight-match tour while maintaining a 1-0 Test series lead against the Springboks.
"The Lions pressured us right from the start," said All Blacks skipper Patrick Tuipulotu, acknowledging the intensity of the 15,900-strong crowd that nearly produced an upset.
